Jorge De La Rosa was traded today to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for a PTBNL, the Royals also sent cash. De La Rosa has a career record of 15-23 with a 5.85 ERA.
This is an odd move for several reasons. First it's been well known that the Rockies have wanted De La Rosa as the PTBNL in the Ramirez trade, and for some reason the Royals refused. Second the Royals still don't have a left-hander in the rotation and Bale has been anything but good, so I assumed at some point the Royals would take another look at De La Rosa as he has been real good in Omaha.
Moore could have his eye on a Rockies player that he likes or maybe he just decided De La Rosa needed a change of scenery. In any case this move has set up the odd scenario of the Rockies and the Royals each owing the other a player.
